Welcome to Michigan Peace Team!

    Michigan Peace Team (MPT) empowers people to engage in active nonviolent peacemaking.

    MPT was started in 1993, in response to the growing

      need for civilian peacemakers both in the U.S. and

      abroad. 

    We offer nonviolence training workshops and provide

      opportunities to join peace teams.

We seek a just world grounded in nonviolence and respect for the sacred interconnectedness of all life.
